Fig. 2From: Laennec’s approach for laparoscopic anatomical hemihepatectomyThe procedure of LALH through the Laennec’s approach. A–D The left hepatic GP was isolated from the Laennec’s capsule. When the left hepatic pedicle was dissociated entirely, the ischemic line on the liver surface was marked. E–H After full dissection of the left GP in front of the Arantius ligament, the middle hepatic vein was then identified. I–L The root of the left hepatic vein was revealed with the use of the inter-Laennec approach after parenchymal dissection. The arrows point to the Laennec’s capsule, and all staining images were under a microscope (×100). Asterisks point to the Arantius ligamentBack to article page
